The true-blue Malaysian first PDA phone, AXIA
A108 is gaining recognition and appreciation from abroad for its
unique form factor. “AXIA’s key differentiator is in the design
as a phone with full PDA features. It is the first phone-to-PDA
in the world. The AXIA is targeted at creating the bridging
segment between the voice centric Smartphone and the PDA-like
data centric devices.

To promote acceptance in the Middle East,
the AXIA A108 is uniquely customized with user interface in
Arabic. The significant achievement for SmartNet is that the
Microsoft® Windows® CE 4.2 does not support Arabic language
and yet SmartNet has successfully enabled the platform for
Arabic input (including handwriting recognition) and output
on the AXIA.

Another first is the AXIA A108 will also
be bundled with Pocket Islam application. Pocket Islam
application is available only in English. SmartNet licensed
Pocket Islam with Arabic support for the AXIA A108. Pocket Islam
application is a full suite of Islamic content, that allows,
amongst other features, auto audio narration of the Surahs at
prayer-times.
